Ripper was the man all right,very frank and no BS with him..even honest about his drug use..he never went off dball even when he was "off" ..not many from his era are as honest like Don.

He suffered from illiteracy early in his career and his articles that were submitted to the mags were written by his sister but still in Dons words.The feud he had with MMI schmoe Steeve Neece was funny as hell but they kissed and made up toward the end..

RIP to one of the great guys of this freakshow of a "sport"

Had a few good times with Don. This Gillette commercial we did was fun and he made it outrageous. I have a great story when we were reading for a Dino DeLaurentis movie. He was completely nuts. He interviewed me over the phone when I was in Hawaii and was going to do a short article on me for some magazine he was writing for. Years passed and stuff and then he died way to soon. He really enjoyed life.

Don never did get really big arms. Well, not many of us did, Dianbol or no Dianbol.

Hey, Keith, when are you going to show the lads your new web site? Lots of great photos there.

cool stuff Keith. You were a huge guy but damn Richard Kiel dwarfs you. Was he a strong guy? I remember in Happy Gilmore he was sorta messed up.

Good on you, Keith. Not many of the flotsam will ever achieve what you have done through lifting weights and being strong.

A question about blowing up hot water bottles. Are they prepared in any way before you blow them up? I tried one and couldn't even get it started to expand. Maybe they make them strong here in Australia?

I know I didn't and I also used the thickest hot water bottle you can buy in a store. Once I did an exhibition and the promoter bought a cheaper one and it blew up way to early and it cut my ear. It usually took at least 40 breaths to pop one. And getting it started is the hardest part. I had Lee Haney try it when he was in Hawaii and I thought his head was going to blow up. His veins in his head got huge. I was a spokesperson for the American Lung Association and I always blew one up when I had to do an appearance. People seemed to like it.

No not sure about him being really strong. At that event we were in it was a celebrity softball game. He didn't really play. He has really bad legs or hips and it was hard for him to stand. His head is unreal huge. That hat was just laying on his head. He told me he weighed 400 lbs.
